Hey all, I was wondering what you guys think of what I am working on for a friend.

http://steph.phoenixrealm.com

It is a Wordpress 1.5 Blog using a slightly modified Manji theme with some great Plugins to add a gallery and whatnot.

If you have webspace and want a blog I highly recommend Wordpress 1.5.

Please let me know what you think. I could use some help on making a fantasy header for it to replace the header or merge with the header I have now.

Thanks,
David

Very much a KISS follower indeed xd Its a great layout; clean, simple, all very legible. I think its a little bit... boring though sweatdrop Generally I prefer personal sites to show a bit more personality; at the moment the site does not say to me 'fantasy' or anything about the person behind it at all. KISS is a great mantra, but you also need to keep in mind the aims of the site, and what its trying to communicate. An interesting header image would help with that, I think. Personally I also think that a border on the top of the navigation tabs along the top would make them stand out and separate them more from the header, especially if you're going to end up putting some kind of image there.

Oh and it validates, which is always a good thing xd Go you!

Chisa - Thanks for the critique. The content is what is more important than the graphics of the site, in my opinion.

Raiz - The header image is 830x140px. She wanted something fantasy/wizard related...and I just can't do it. The colours of the banner matching the site would be nice, but I can change the key colours of the site to match the banner if it is a good banner. biggrin
